This is not a new contract opportunity, but rather a VEAT notice to inform the market that the Council is seeking to extend its existing 4 year framework agreement established in May 2022 by Portsmouth City Council on behalf of the Southern Coastal Group (SCG) and SCOPAC (the Regional Coastal Group for central southern England), for a multi-contractor Coastal Engineering Minor Works Framework Agreement. The framework comprises of 2 lots. Lot 1 is concerned with the provision of General Coastal Civil Engineering Works and Lot 2 is concerned with the provision of Specialist Beach Management Works. The requirement for the services is ongoing. It is the intention of the council to undertake Pre-Market Engagement to test different commercials models, lotting structure and values, etc., prior to re-tender this framework in Spring 2026. The PME notice is planned for issue Jan/Feb 2025. It is our aim to have a new framework in effect prior to the end of the proposed extension period. To allow time to undertake PME and this new procurement, the proposed extension will be for 7.2 months from 02/05/2026 - 30/11/2026 and would continue seamlessly from the expiry date of the current framework on 2nd May 2026. We also propose to increase the value of the framework by £1,350,000 from £9,000,000 to £10,350,000 to encompass forecast spend during this period. The proposed extension would be executed under Public Contract Regulations 2015 - Regulation 72 (1(f)) - Paragraph 5. With respect to Reg 72 Paragraph 5(a), the extension value of £1,350,000 is below the relevant threshold in regulation 5 for Works, which has a current threshold of EUR 5 350 000 (£5,372,609). With respect to Reg 72 Paragraph 5(b), the extension value increase is within 15% of the initial contract (For works contracts). There are no modifications to scope, and does not alter the overall nature of the framework agreement.
